Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Costa Rica does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Maya Yoshida, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 20' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 41' - Anthony Contreras is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
  • 42' - The referee calls foul for Anthony Contreras. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Takuma Asano. He replaces Ayase Ueda on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' - Costa Rica is showing some good football. However, Costa Rica are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 61' - Celso Borges was booked on 61.
  • 62' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 62.
  • 62' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Miki Yamane departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 65' - The Costa Rica manager makes a substitution. Gerson Torres departs to be replaced by Brandon Aguilera.
  • 67' - The whistle greets Ritsu Doan as he departs to be replaced by Junya Ito.
  • 70' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Francisco Calvo gets a Yellow card.
  • 71' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Francisco Calvo on 71.
  • 76' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bryan Oviedo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' - Goal! Keysher Fuller scores his 1 goal in 7 matches.
  • 82' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuki Soma by Takumi Minamino on 82 minute.
  • 84' - The referee shows Japan player a Yellow card on 84.
  • 89' - Time for substitution for Costa Rica. Celso Borges is replaced by Youstin Salas.
  • 90' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' - Costa Rica manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Daniel Chacon is hanging Joel Campbell on the field on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Japan.
